While he didn't say much, he would allow, "It was a jump for me, because that's such a huge responsibility in such a big film. I was suspicious of it originally and it did in fact take a while for me to finally get the job - a lot of people had to sign off on it. It wasn't something I pursued necessarily, it kind of just surprised me. But once I finally got the job and started working on it I was very happy to be doing it. I'm sure excited for it to come out because not only will it be a blockbuster, but I think it's going to be a really great movie."
Meanwhile, Amy Adams was interviewed by Collider and revealed about the film and her role of Lois Lane, "It was great. It was really good. Henry [Cavill] - I hope you guys love him as Superman - worked so hard. He is just yummy and really committed to the role. He really did a good job. I haven't seen the final cut and I have only seen a couple of the teasers. So I am with you guys. I know it because I was there but there was so much that I wasn't involved in that I can't wait to see. [Lois] is definitely a pistol still and she definitely gets herself in a lot of trouble still. But she is not as competitive, I would say, with Clark."]]>In an interview with The Canadian Press, actor Michael Shannon was asked about his role of General Zod in Man of Steel (which will probably be the case until the film is released next June).

1OneMinuteNews reports the following: "Christopher Wietrick, from Hutchinson, Kansas, wants to change the name of their sleepy little farm town to Smallville. Yes, that's the fictitious Kansas town where Clark Kent became Superman. It's cool, odd and they better rock it out to get people to flock to basically the middle of nowhere. The most important part is that it's for fun and for charity as Christopher states in his comment below... all proceeds go to the Boys and Girls Club, and that's the coolest part. Sounds like a good place.
Come to think of it, this is a lot like our expectations and obsession with politics and finding our own superman. Someone who can solve the country's problems in a single four year bound! We think that a name change will do the trick, make everything new and different. Are we crazy? Maybe... but it's fun. It's why we go see a new movie about the same superhero time after time, sequel after sequel, over and over. It's the American way!"

Vulture is reporting that a new Wonder Woman series is in the earliest stages of development at the CW, home of Smallville and this fall's Arrow. Notes the stie, "Our sources say the new take on the comic book crime fighter is being written by Allan Heinberg (Grey's Anatomy, The O.C.) under the working title Amazon. Unlike past TV incarnations, it will focus on Wonder Woman as a young, budding superhero, rather than a fully formed defender of liberty. (Think Smallville, but instead of a 'no tights, no flights' rule, this show might have a "no bracelets, no crown" mandate.) Heinberg seems a logical candidate for the job: His resume includes work on the kinds of soapy dramas the CW favors as well as comic-geek street cred (he wrote the Young Avengers comic book series back in 2005).
It should be noted that CW is only developing a script at this point; no pilot production has been greenlit or even contractually guaranteed." For more, click HERE.

Whatculture.com has come up with a list of 10 things that Zack Snyder's Man of Steel must avoid from Bryan Singer's 2006 production of Superman Returns. We present itmes 6-10 of that list.10. METROPOLIS:Superman Returns tried very hard – mostly successfully – to establish Metropolis as a city that is in every way a match for a real-life metropolis like New York City. (Something that Tim Burton famously ignored by creating a shockingly empty Gotham City for his 1989 Batman). What the movie forgets to do, is to populate this Metropolis with real people. People who react to the events around them in a believable way. That doesn’t just mean running away from a gas line exploding underneath your feet, screaming in terror, and managing to only come across as either victims or apathetic. Other than for a few newspaper articles and a nice standing ovation at a ballgame, Metropolis hardly seems to acknowledge or care that the hero of their city has returned. We have to know what it is that Superman spends his life protecting, if we’re going to be asked to care about the outcome. A hero is nothing if he has nothing worthwhile to save. Man of Steel owes us a Metropolis with some character.

9. A SELF-OBSESSED SUPERMAN: We understand that it’s a difficult thing to take an extremely long flight to your home town – a distant planet, that you thought was destroyed in a natural disaster, but then heard that something might have survived – only to find nothing there. But you don’t need to take a whole movie to mope about it. Superman takes a rather amazing amount of personal time to look pained and feel very sorry for himself. He goes as far as to explain to Lois Lane what it feels like to be a god-like figure who has to constantly hear the pleas for help from the citizens below. Unbelievably , he chooses to sadly fly around with no clear purpose, instead of getting his hands dirty and helping out the citizenry a little. There’s nothing particularly heroic about caring more about yourself than people who need actual saving.
8. CLARK WHO?: There has always been a certain amount of looking the other way when it came to accepting the reality of a world where Superman and Clark Kent are never in the same place at the same time, yet somehow nobody ever successfully puts two and two together. Superman Returns went one step further by having Clark and Superman disappear for long periods and then reappear at the same time. Still, nobody ever gets clever enough to even wonder aloud why that is. And yet, all of that would have been forgivable, if not for the fact that nobody with significant screen time seems at all concerned about Clark Kent. If they all assumed that he was at home with the flu while Superman was lying in a hospital bed recovering from a nasty Kryptonite stabbing, they could have clued us in. The lack of concern for Clark isn’t help by the absence of memorable character moment. In fact, I can’t remember even one.
7. CREEPY SUPERMAN: The problem with a Superman that is having such a hard time emotionally, is that he gets up to some fairly ethically questionable things while he’s trying to work through his issues. For a character with such a traditional set of values, he doesn’t seem to struggle too much with taking another man’s fiancée for an entirely inappropriate romantic spin in the clouds. Worse than that, it gets downright creepy when the Man of Steel hovers outside of Louis and Richard’s home to spy on their family. A squeaky clean portrayal of the character would probably alienate audiences, but a Superman that gives in to some very basic of human vices so easily is difficult to admire.6. NOT-SO SUPERMAN: Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, vision and intelligence. Those are just some of the abilities that Superman possesses, but are never shown in a satisfying way. The most impressive show of strength in Superman Returns is the slow push towards space of the landmass Lex Luthor creates with the Kryptonian crystals that he steals from the Fortress of Solitude. But not only do we have to wait until the very end to see this, but we’re teased by the fact that this is a Superman weakened by the presence of Kryptonite. We never get to see Kal-El be spectacularly and destructively powerful in any sustained way. For a super-intelligent being, Superman comes across as slightly confused by how the action unfolds and not able to anticipate anything. He seems equally clueless about the unraveling of his personal life. Nothing about that screams genius.
5. ACTION: It took half an hour for Superman Returns to get to its first big action sequence. In a movie that should never have been concerned with retelling origins and didn’t need a lot of setting up, this is far too long. Considering how light on action it is for a story about a super-powered alien, it is especially unforgivable. Superman has to fight. The recent successes of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises showed us that smart audiences are not only okay with epic and frequent action set-pieces, but when they are done well, they accept them as legitimate narrative devices. Despite Zack Snyder’s unsuccessful toying with the idea of a music video-inspired genre of film making in Sucker Punch, everyone of his other films gets the action right. I do not expect him to drop the ball in the same way as Bryan Singer did.
